Cambs Compressors helps clients achieve this without compromising reliability, acting as a solutions-driven partner. Strategic measures are key to reducing costs. A professional energy audit is the first step to identifying waste, while leak detection can pinpoint hidden leaks that waste thousands. For sites with multiple compressors, intelligent controllers optimise load-sharing to prevent idle time. Additionally, right-sizing equipment ensures the system perfectly matches demand for peak efficiency. By implementing these measures, businesses from food production to medical manufacturing can achieve significant cost savings and protect their critical uptime. Cambs Compressors retains and expands contract with Anglia Growing Partnership Like many large organisations, Anglia Growing Partnership regularly retenders service agreements to ensure best value. This particular tender coincided with a major site expansion to meet increasing production demands, adding the need for extra compressed air capacity and upgraded pipework. 24/7 Operations, Zero Tolerance for Downtime The Holbeach site runs around the clock – processing, packing and distributing fresh produce to leading retailers. In this high-output environment, compressed air powers machinery and control systems. Any unplanned downtime can disrupt production schedules and cause costly delays, making preventative maintenance and robust, carefully engineered system design absolutely essential. Competitive Tender Process Although the incumbent supplier, Cambs Compressors faced tough competition from national and regional providers. The evaluation focused on: l Servicing Costs – delivering a cost- effective, long-term maintenance plan. l Energy Efficiency – integrating two new Avelair compressors and an advanced controller to optimise load- sharing, cut energy use and boost system performance. l System Redundancy – ensuring backup capacity so operations remain unaffected by single-point failures. l Warranties – comprehensive coverage to protect equipment and service investment and guarantee quality. l Responsiveness – a proven track record of rapid, effective problem resolution. The Winning Solution Cambs’ proposal combined competitive servicing with a major system upgrade of 2 new compressors, managed by an intelligent controller, were seamlessly integrated with the existing compressor estate. Outcome The result is a resilient, energy-efficient compressed air system that meets the demands of a 24/7 operation. Cambs Compressors is proud to announce the successful retention – and expansion – of its service contract with Anglia Growing Partnership at their Holbeach, Norfolk site. This long-standing client plays a vital role in the UK’s fresh produce supply chain, and their compressed air systems are critical to operations. How compressed air powers the East of England’s economy Compressed air is often referred to as the fourth utility – and for good reason. It’s essential to countless industrial processes across the East of England, from Norfolk’s food production to Cambridge’s high-tech medical manufacturing. Yet, while the technology is universal, its use varies greatly between sectors. In the food and beverage industry, air purity and system reliability are crucial to ensure hygiene and continuous production. In medical manufacturing, precision, traceability, and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable. Agribusiness operations require systems that can handle both seasonal surges and environmental extremes. Aerospace demands absolute reliability, with zero tolerance for system failures. Cambs Compressors rises to these challenges by offering bespoke maintenance plans, tailored system designs and sector-specific compliance support. Their approach ensures that compressed air systems are not only efficient and reliable but resilient – whether that means built-in redundancy for 24/7 operations, robustness for seasonal use or stability for sensitive manufacturing environments. By combining industry-specific expertise with universal best practices, Cambs Compressors is more than just a supplier – they’re a strategic partner committed to keeping critical industries running at full capacity.
